(3BR/3.5BA, 1K, 1Q, 2Tw, SLP 6, 2 golf carts, Sunday Turn in Peak Season, CHECK OUT 10:00AM / CHECK IN 5:30PM) On a manicured lot, located into Keepers Landing-closeby Cape Fear Common's gazebo and green space-you can hang loose at Surf Shack-a three-bedroom, 3.5 bath Bald Head Island gem. This Craftsman bungalow greets you with a covered rocking chair porch-ideal for lingering while appreciating briny breezes and birdsong. Inside, the open floor plan starts with a window-surrounded sitting area boasting plenty of natural light and multiple vistas of the Island's resplendent Maritime Forest. You can snuggle here (watching a movie or playing one of the many games supplied) or step outside onto the home-length side screen porch and while away your time rocking while breathing in BHI's serenity. Just steps down from the screened porch is a shrub-cloistered oversize deck with benches and chairs around a fire pit-just the spot for family s'mores! Back inside, the long, distressed-wood dining table affords places for six and is adjacent to the breakfast bar which offers even more seating. Chefs will delight in the kitchen's handsome granite counters, stainless appliances and convenient close by pantry/laundry. This floor also homes a half bath.

Upstairs, two bright bedrooms await. The first, with two Twins, provides two closets, a desk and utilizes the ample full bath just across the hall. The substantial Primary King also proffers a desk area as well as a sizable Primary Bath with a granite his-and-her vanity, an oversize walk-in closet, a very enormous shower and a separate water closet. The third bedroom, located in the home's crofter, not only grants plenty of privacy but presents a alluring Queen suite with a mini-refrigerator and full bath. This well-appointed property displays decorator touches everywhere-including hardwoods throughout, wainscoting, plantation shutters, tasteful art and modren lighting fixtures.

Located just mins. from Bald Head's esteemed East Beach as well as the Shoals Club and the Conservancy, guests at Surf Shack may use the home's two golf carts-a four- and a six-passenger. For an amped Island vacation (surfing lingo for "inciting excitement"), vacation at Surf Shack! This home has a boat slip. If you would like to rent the boat slip, please contact reservations directly.

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Brunswick area vacation home experience:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Book your rental home in the Fall or Spring to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Some property managers offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Often, rental management companies supply Brunswick area area visitors guides that include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to pick the perfect vacation home in the Brunswick area area:

• Begin by choosing a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Newly renovated Keeper's Landing Cottage! has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, reach out to the property manager before you book the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You will need to determine what bed configuration is suitable for your vacation.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or costs may be applied to your invoice.
• If there's a particular Brunswick area beach you simply love, search for properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

Additional considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your phone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few concerns.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Document any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if there is a dispute.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a terrific resource to find the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at departure. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on great ratings to drive future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
